CURRENT OPINION.
GORMAN's GRIP.

"It was" says the Boston Traveller,
Sin the last days Of the campaign of
1884 that German, for the Democratic
national committee, raised, according to
hearsay, Sl50,000 to effect change in
New York against Blaine" And it was
thus that German got a grip on Cleve-
land which the latter has not been able
to relax Mail and Express.
AS TO DoMEsTICs.
Boy loafers, of rich or poor parents,
are the bane of society and are girl loaf
ers any more desirable? Whenever
housework comes to be regarded as the
most respectable business in which wom-
EN- can engage, help. in this department
will be plenty enough. A well-bred fam
lily is one in which every member knows
how to work, regardless of circumstan-
ces, and is willing to labor.-[St, Albans
Messenger
BLAINE AND THE PRESIDENCY.
Eugene Hale, just home from Europe,
says Blaine Is not a candidate for the
Presidency. He evidently speaks with
authority, having been in conversation
with Mr.. Blaine in Paris only few days
before leaving for home. No doubt if
Mr.. Blaine could have hearty and
unanimous support, he would accept
nomination, but he knows it is futile to
expect this, and therefore wisely holds
aloof. He will not be home until after
the nominating convention has been held.
With Mr.. Blaine out of the field there is
nothing left to hinder cordial union of
all branches of the party upon Lincoln,
Allison, or some other good man, giving
assurance of almost certain victory in
the next contest.-[Newport Express.

Ec Congratulate.

Mr. Hynan Abraham assumed con-
troll of the Portland custom house on
the first Of the month and appointed
as first deputy, L. A. Pike, formerly of
Oakland, tins county, Il young man
of sterling worth, strict probity and
good ability. Mr.. Pixies appointment
is matter of pleasure to many friends
in this county, who extent con9ratula-
tlons to him on his good fortune j.
D. Mckinnon, another old-time Doug
las county citizen, has@been given a
good position by Mr.. Abraham. There
are no more worthy men than our old
friend Mckinnon, who has host of
f.iends all over Oregon WHO will be
pleased to hear Of his appointment.
That old Democratic war.horse, Tony
Noltner receives an appointment from
Mr.. Abraham ALSO This piece of good
luck is especially gratifying to the
newspaper fraternity of the state, who
feel that Mr.. Noltner's life long services
as Democratic Journalist entitle him
to front seat at the banquet of vic
tory. Several other gentlemen have
been given positions 5y Mr.. Abraham,
and we doubt not all are good, true
men, competent and honest, In con
clusion, with all Douglas county, we
wish Mr.. Abraham success in his new
position.

Justice to Or. McGlynn.

The hippancy of the press in its
treatment of DIR. Edward McGlynn,
the communicated Catholic pNest,
does not show discriminating spirit,
where it should be found. There is
in the whole career of DIR.
McGlynn that tends in the least to in
dicate that he was ever actuated by
any selfish moti"e or that any act of
his was ever done for his own ag-
grandizement. The motives of the
man were therefore correct, and his
exceeding love for the poor, his great
charity of heart have been wonderfully
testified to by the great class of the
poor TO whom he had dedicated his life
and fortune No man was ever SO
poor, so unfortunate, 50 forsaken that
he ever appealed to Dir. McGlynn for
assistance and appealed i'll vain. Vet
the press which claims to be the great
lever of power and instructor of the
people seeks to treat this man as DEM
agogue because, forsooth, he does not
walk in the old beaten tracks In this
a grave injustice is being done not only
to an individual but to the great cause
of humanity itself That there is too
much poverty, wretchedness, misery
and woe in this land of peace and
plenty, no one can deny. That men
who devote their life to the alienation
of this suffering, ministering to the
wants of the poverty stricken, and
seeking by all means in their power
to elevate, instruct and assist those TO
whom life has become burden and
curse, are to be met by the jeers and
gibes Of an intelligent press, does not
speak we'll for the spirit of the age.
Yet this is the sum total Of DR..
McGlynn's ofense. VIII the world
never learn the lesson in due season
and recognize the man of worth and
genius at the right time, or must ever
the reformer travel through rough
paths strewn with briars and thornsl
There is a question slumbering yet
that will shake modern civilization to
its foundation and build anew on the
eternal principles Of the meek and
lowly Nazarine, when Love, and not
Gold, shall sit enthroned as king of all
the world

TEE COLOR LINE.

The p ssage of the Glenn bill by the
GeorgiG legislature by which it is
madei criminal offense to educate
white and colored children in the same
school has brought forth torrent OF
ab6se from the extreme radical papers
of tile North, and from some of an
independent character whose opinions
usually have much weight. The
extreme partisan republican press that
seeks every opportunity for the waving
of the bloody shirt and tue awaking of
war Issues is about the most contemp-
table thing one can we'll imagine. OF
this character is the New York 7ri-
Jpae, the CINCINNATI Commercial
Go.ette, AND the Orego'eion and States
Dsan of our own state.
The, Glenn bill in effect will incident
ally affect the Atlanta University, an
institution supported by northern men
fDr the e;lueation and elevation of the
coiored race. It's professors are north
ern men and they have rs the Orego-
MIA, puts it, ''been guilty of the
heinous crime Of allowing their own
childIen to enter the classes they
instruct" The papers referred to dis
cuss this bill entirely with regard to
tBis university, when the fact is. it is
a general measure to keep the races
separate and distinct in the public and
private schools, as they are kept sepa-
rate in society and all the avenues Of
life. The spirit of the Anglo Saxon
race is against miscegenation and its
attendan: evils; and therein lies its
greatness, its power and its hopes.
England to-day is the great power she
is because her people can settle among
the natives of India or Africa and not
lose their identity i'll general mixing
of the races. There must be proper
bearers erected between the people Of
the two races in the southern states
and if, Incidentally, these bearers
should affect a few injuriously, they
should be borne for the general vel
fare. Is not the Oregotion in its
efforts to control the action Of the
people in Georgia in similar condi-
ton with its favorite theory concern
ing prohibition, namely, that the pro
hitition rural districts will be unable
to enforce the law in the liquor drink
ing cities. Is not the Oreyomiam.
impotent in its efforts to miscegenerate
the South and should it not take q dose
of is own medicine?

WHITE IABon IN THE soUTH.


Partial Investigations into the agrl
cultural condition of the Southern
States make clear the interesting fact
that in nearly every case of increased
production of a staple crop white labor
is to be credited with it. The sugar
crop in Louisiana is raised almost eN
clusiyely by negroes-and it exhibits
no increase; there is not as much sugar
raised now as there was twenty-seven
years age. The rice crop in South
Carolina, cultivated almost exclusively
by negro labor, shows falling of, 90,
while the rice crop in Louisiana, grown
mainly by whites, is increasing Cot
ton is raised over a large area in the
South, and the crop is now two-fifths
1900, 1000 bales) larger than it was
before The war-and the increase is to
be found almost invariably in the To-
calities where white labor prevails.
Some estimates place the proportion Of
the Southern cotton crop raised by
white labor at one-half The track
farming, dairying and freit-growins
that are coming to the front as features
in Southern agriculture are exclusively
In the hands Of white persons. These
facts are remarkable when it is remem
bered that the negroes have increased
more rapidly than the whites, and that
until several years after the war they
were the only farm workers in many
of the Southern States

Lana Grant Uagon Roads.

Acting Secretary Of the Interior
Muldrow, says recent dispatch, to-day
notified the Dalles Military Wagon
Road Company, Oregon Central Wagon
Road Company and Willamette Valley
& Cascade Mountain Road Company,
IN the State of Oregon, that J. g. Nc
Nance. of the Office Of the Assistant
Attorney General, and Gabriel c.
Wharton, of the General Land Office,
have been appointed commission to
investigate these roads, and will meet
in Salem, Oregon, August 10Th, next,
to hear testimony on the issues in
volved
The above is conclusive evidence
that if the people make noise enough
they will attract attention sooner or
later 1t is now three years since
vigorous warfare was commenced
against that gigantic fraud, and the
beginning of the end has at last come
The business of this commission is to
take evidence aud ascertain as to
whether or not the terms OF the giant
ing act by Congress have been com
piled with in respect to constructing
the several roads in question. 1t is
well known fact, patent and notorious,
to the people of this State that a more
gigantic fraud was never perpetrated
upon any people, state Or government,
than this military road fraud. Com
paratively, there have been no roads
constructed The terms of the several
granting acts have in no respect been
complied with, and it is now conceded
by the road companies themselves that
the roads were not made according to
agreement, but they say, ave are in
noe mt purchasers and are not respon-
sible for the failure Of the origiual
companies, But now the Supreme
Court of the United States steps in
and says that in such cases there are
no such things as innocent purchasers.
If a man, OF company of men, under
take to purchase land grant they arc
placed upon their inquiry, and are sup
posed to examine the title and ascer-
tain as to whether or not the title was
obtained through fraud, and if they
fail to make such examination they
arc supposed to be- party to the fraud,
and buying it to covel it up, Fraud
vitiates everything in law, and title
obtained through fraud is worthless,
and this claim of innocent purchaser
is only set up as scarecrow to frigh-
ten settlers off the land claimed by
these companies. If the people will
stick to their lands they will get them
after a while. Large bodies move
slowly and hence this delay. The land
titles in Harvey valley will soon be
settled and the people will then begin
to beautify their homes and make
arrangements to stay. We have the
most beautiful country on earth, but
before making permanent improve
ments we must quiet titles to the lands
